Dang it Avalon, you c(XD LOL)-block Shirou and Reinforce, but don't protect his mind in other ways? What is wrong, you woman?
Friendship, be made! Magical power, gather! Starlight Breaker.... this world!

The only way the sex will be problematic to remove in HF is the fact that during them you

Spoiler:

get clues about Angra Mainyu as Shirou makes the connection to Sakura during them. But that can be shown with a bit of stylized cutting and panning and a dark screen or static, there are a number if ways. For a HF adaption, I am more worried about how they portray the slow corruption, since there are even people who make mistakes about Sakura's character to this day with full explanations and clues in the VN. If there is anything that is important for this route, its good direction and atmosphere.

Well, yeah, I am extremely worried about the possibility of them making a mess of it and making Sakura come across badly, given that even Nasu found it difficult to convey her true nature. But, at least it's not Deen doing it, so it might be OK....

But this is all moot until we get confirmation about it being HF, which we haven't.

No, but it seems almost certain that they will animate HF, either on its own or as part of a series of three. You're just being overly-cautious which, coming from you, is not at all surprising....

Well, yeah, I'm not sure that cutting that out is going to cause a massive issue.

Honestly, I would say torturing children is more NSFW than consensual sex between two teenagers but, then, I'm not American, so....

Although if it is Blood sucking scenes, I think they can do that, although it won't make sense if you consider the original concept, but if they did that in Realta Nua, I guess it can work somehow.

The blood sucking scenes don't really make sense in the context, though. Having sex is the more logical option, given how in-love they are, and it also fits better with the nature of the route.

In Realta Nua, they replaced it with a less explicit erotic dream (involving Rin and Ayako). Most likely they'll do the same here.

Apparently this was mentioned in an interview with Urobuchi, (note: probably a few Madoka Magica and Gargantia spoilers there, if anyone cares) who says he's not involved, but he seems to think it's an adaptation of Unlimited Blade Works.

Like EssTEss said. Fate/Zero was written after Fate/Stay Night, this gave Urobuchi the opportunity to be able connect the two stories in unexpected ways.

Because of this many of the events that happend in Fate/Zero aren't mentioned in Fate/Stay Night.

Well, actually it was done in reverse.
A number of things that were referenced in FSN are actually detailed in Fate/Zero.
The destruction of that cargo ship being one of these.

Sure, there many-many things for Saber to tell, like the Masters from the previous war and such but I guess it isn't her style to talk about them.
And yes, she probably remained silent about Irisviel because of her connection to Illya.
At least that could be the in-universe explanation.
In reality we're talking about a subtle retcon.
At the time FSN was conceived, Irisviel only had a very minor role.
Which got expanded greatly with Fate/Zero.
In the script of the final FSN game Saber most likely never interacted with Irisviel at all.

I wonder which of these it is or if it is none of these.

Actually, the ship location in the DEEN anime is pretty much according to how Saber used Excalibur in the Fate/Zero anime.
It went along the length of the river and staight towards the bridge.
Then the cargo ship seems to be the final damper that caught the residual energies of Excalibur.
Thus Kiritsugu in the anime saved those people on the bridge.

This also explain why the anime's version of the Caster fight looks different compared to the LN.

In the original Fate/Zero novel Saber shot Excalibur across the river, starting from one bank to another. With Caster's giant monster being in the middle.
There, Kiritsugu secretly moved a large but empty tanker ship behind Caster's monster to spare the people and houses on the opposite end of the riverbank.

We're discussing it a bit in the thread in question. The general feeling is that Gen was a bit confused overall by the question and it probably isn't a good idea to read much into it. And if you did want to read into it, it'd probably be "Not the Fate route, at least not by itself" at best.

Apparently this was mentioned in an interview with Urobuchi, (note: probably a few Madoka Magica and Gargantia spoilers there, if anyone cares) who says he's not involved, but he seems to think it's an adaptation of Unlimited Blade Works.

Well, it wouldn't be particularly surprising if they decided to once again shaft the Sakura fans. I mean, you only have to look at Carnival Phantasm to see how they generally feel about us....

Some of the stuff with Caster was darkened so you couldn't see the gory details. I think the same might have been true with some of Sakura's scenes.

Yeah I just got to seeing some of the uncensored episodes a few days ago. I saw Caster totally owning that one kid when he just SQUUUUUUUUUEZED his head. I'm impressed with his strength, he is a Heroic Spirit (kind of) after all.
